The fall of any given superpower is inevitable. Nobody stays on top forever
My point is that a standing army or organized and recognized government increases the effort another someone to invade. And try and tell me that a place which has a standing army isn't a state in it's own regard.
If you are just a bunch of small communities, then you better be a bunch of militant communities, or living in a place that never has strategic value.
I don't know that I'd necessarily agree. Certainly central organization can help efficiency but it also provides easy targets for victory
A certain amount of it obviously boils down to how brutal the invading force will be
Or how easy the population gives up
But guerilla warfare is crazy effective
That generally means you are already occupied
Or you are invading
Guerilla warfare works... Except you have already lost your home.... The thing ancaps are defending
Right but any invading force has to deal with the idea that occupation will be long and bloody
Yes, but what are they fighting for once an ancap loses their house?
How good did Syria and Iran seem to Americans after Iraq? Not great
Reclamation of property
What property?
A spot of land with a tank sitting on it?
The property they had that is now occupied by an invading force
Land itself has value
Idk about you,but at that point, if my home.is gone, it's easier to just leave and rebuild.
Leave to where?
A state that will subjugate you?
Good question, where to go? Either somewhere the invading force does not care about yet, or a different community
Or the revial state
That doesn't make any sense
Only if death is preferable to living in the US or something
If I'm doing fine and commies up and burn my house down, I'm not gonna go "Welp, time to join the fascists because I don't have a home to go back to"
Nations are not constants
If a state like the US is so bad, why not just start fighting now? You are already occupied.
Other states exist
Or if there is only one state, the. You just keep going back to ancap places until there is none left
At which point then you fight
But I doubt there would ever be one state
Because former ancaps would team up and form a state just to defeat the Invaders and stop them
What? The fact that there is another state doesn't mean it's a good choice
Of all the countries that exist today how many would you want to live in?
Over out right dying? Most.
It's not outright death
I would at least consider living under the radar in a place that is not currently involved in the war.
You seem to be setting up a series of false dichotomies instead of addressing the core issue
Which is?
